ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 4-Commissioner
Peck, of the bureau OF labor statistics, in his
annual report, has the following TO say on
the question of foreign skilled labor in this
country:
As very prominent feature of the labor
question it has been found expeiient and
necessary to lock into our apprenticeship sys-
tenn. The broad result is that We are largely
dependent upon foreign skilled labor CHr
supply of mechanics is daily augmented by
the skilled labor Of Europe, and while this
foreign element is not equal to the skilled IA
Dor which is retained in Europe it is III the
main, vastly superior TO that produced in our
own country. Whether unrestricted immi-
grafton be or be not national blessing may
be disputed, but visit 70 the workshops of
the state will demonstrate tine truthiulness
of the statement that the large ma jority of
our tradesmen and mechanics are foreigners.
Indeed, III many trade and industrial estab-
lishments there is not single American
at work Nearly all positions of trust
and responsibility in the mechanical depart
nlents are in the hands of foreigu-born work
ers, and most Of the boys and young men
learning trades are either fcreign-born or the
sons of foreign-born workers. And the opin-
ion is now very generally expressed and ac-
cepted that most of the labor troubles of the
last few years have been precipitated, not by
whole trades, but by sections OF them, and
that these sections We're largely controlled by
foreigners or natives who had from associa-
ton imbibed foreign ideas ON the labor ques-
ton
The commissioner then discusses the Amer
lean obje ,tious to apprenticing boys, and
the consequent failure of American labor to
prevent such state of affairs as is men
toned above. He argues in favor of man-
ual training as means of keeping up tue
supply of trained labor, and preventing the
coming man from becoming the slave Of the
| machine
He gives brief histories of the leading
| strikes in the state during the year. The
losses by these different strikes, boyeotts,
etc, he is unable to give in total, but fifty
eight firms alone report an aggregate If
! S3,0O,GGl On the other hand, the losses OF
wages to striking employees are representei
by the sum OF 3. SIS, l9l
